New gear makes me a happy bunny

[Rusty]

I would love to buy a pair of Draggin Jeans and some soft boots .. you know the ones .. like F1 driving boots ... for the summer months .. if you could promise me I will never come a gutzer ... oh it would be so much cooler and lighter but I just cannot get away from the fact that no matter what people say and what videos you can watch made by Draggin they simply will not protect you like 3/5 mm leather ... they will ride up, they will tear, they may even come off, but they will not give you the same level of protection .... just imagine rubbing your leg along the tarmac.... get down on your knees  and have a real close look .. it's what I used to write in my reports on Traffic as " Hot rolled Tarmacadam with inlaid granite chippings "..... GRANITE chaps .. that's what you are up against .... at 30 let alone anything faster than that ... it will simply shred you to bits .... I like my legs and the way they move and I even get them out in the summer so I very much look forward to keeping them that way .......  8)

dead right too....if I'm not mistaken another problem with 'jean' type material is that it will 'grip' the road surface which results in the occupant rolling and subsequently breaking bones

It doesn't bear thinking about....I remember all to well falling of my scooter as a kid and the pain of gravel rash on my palms...aaaargh

Had an email today from Hein Gericke, it seems that now, you not only get 30% discount but until Monday of next week you also get £10 knocked off your purchase.

they really are keen to get business...if ever there was a time when it's a buyers market.... I reckon it's now

The 'credit crunch' is biting deeper every day

Just got me a HG 'Team' jacket - more for pub and casual use (not armoured but sheltex)

Retails at £90, on offer at £44, got it for £38 as a sign up for the HG club thingy

Happy Bunny although Missus response was "Great.  ANOTHER bike jacket..........."

She should know by now, being married to a biker .... one can never have TOO much kit

I believe her favoured expression to "Yes dear, it's a helmet" followed by "Yes dear, it's a bike" then "Yes dear, there goes another helmet/bike" and finally - "Is that all you think about...."

We also have the occasional going into a quiet room to cry "I think I'm losing the will to live.........."

Yep - She's married a biker and boy does she know it!

I would have thought it's obvious that there in spot bother !
Bike sales down & dealers going under. That coupled with high unemployment.
May be they will close few shops down that aren't performing as well. Tis all good stuff though.
